I just had a 900 post contest and made it available to outside of US but this one is just for in the US members with the required 50 quality posts, as these are not the biggest contest prizes and the postage would be crazy for the value. There will be two winners. Because I think there are two possible answers. I have had this strange signature up here for a couple weeks. I remember it hung on a bar room wall and I strained to figure out what it said. If you know what I do as a job that might be a hint why I like it. Civilli derdegoh furde bussus inero - Vatisinem Idunno ?
Novilli dems arnt bussus - demsis trux - Vatisinem ? Cowzandux!I am surprised somebody didn't ask what it says or means. The answer does not have to be exact but pretty darn close and there are two different answers that can be given. One just a little different than the other. The second person to give a good answer gets choice of these two over sized novelty items. The first person to guess correct gets what is left over. One is a 1971 S IKE and you can see it is pretty big compared to that nickel shown actual size. The other is a 1972 S Lincoln Cent. Why does the second get choice? Because once the first person posts, the other can get the second answer easier but might have a hard time figuring out what the one word translates into. Contest wins when two people get real close to the correct answers. Hint, One word could be read one of two ways that's all the difference I am looking for. These don't have copy on them that I can see but a couple others I am keeping for myself do. I also have a 1909 S VDB and an 1985 D Nickel I think. Here's the prizes! Shipping is free.

Correct Buffalo Breath!
One winner in, now which word could mean two different things and what should it say the other way.
Nice job COINAHOLIC!
Also gutsy to take a back seat to the lump that picks up the slack here and leaves you sloppy seconds. LOL! LOL! LOL!

Way to go Coinaholic! I'm working on the alternate answer now.  That reminds me of the scene in Oceans Twelve (or Thirteen?) where the three guys are meeting with some mob guy in Europe...They are speaking to each other in cryptic, non-sense language, and when it Matt Damon's turn to talk, he waxes poetically, and then is accused of saying that the man's daughter was loose. Cracks me up every time I see it. |

Steve, Try figuring it out after a dozen or so draft mugs! Or maybe a few 40's. It's not a drastic difference ... just one word turns into two.
hint furde

I had a whole cup, so I must be worse than buffalo breath.
Still stumped. I can split it into 2 words, but then the sentence doesn't make sense.

Johnny Carson used to call Ed McMahon that all the time. You're a good sport, it was in fun obviously.
This contest is still alive! Soon I'll end this with you get choice and do the other with some other quick answer idea.
